Grading comment

dato il registro piuttosto formale, e la specificazione della frase successiva, ho optatato per: non è l'esaltazione di una rassicurante vicinanza. Mi sembra renda l'idea nel contesto. Qualche punticino per il "rassicurante".

sentimentalismi e svenevolezze

Explanation:
Visto quel che l'autore afferma nella frase successiva, ovvero l'enfasi pragmatica dell'attaccamento sullo sviluppo di una relativa indipendenza e autonomia, potresti tradurre con: "Quella dell'attaccamento è una teoria che concede poco o nulla a sentimentalismi e svenevolezze (...)" o qualcosa su questa falsariga.
